The Old CJ2A Page Message Archive

Please see Questions and Answers for some topics that frequently appear on this board. As you can see, this board loads rather slowly. If you are posting something for sale, please remember to include your location since someone who might otherwise be interested might not be able to use a part or a vehicle that is too far away. Posting your location when you're selling something that needs to be hauled will save everyone's time (and reduce the number of posts on this already too-slow message board). Thanks.

Thanks for the replies! A relative of mine restored a 1966 V6 CJ something (I was too young to know exactly what) and I remember learning some choice new words thanks to that "out of the box failure" you described :)As for the diesel, my uncle has a '47 CJ2A that used to be my grandfather's way back when. Its a gorgeous vehicle (luzon red, I think), mostly original, all jeep. Anyhow, he's gotten it in his head that he wants to put a V8 in it (no details as to what kind yet) so I'm going to watch carefully and see how he fits something like that in the engine compartment and maybe gain some insight into doing a diesel transplant. The reason I'm so keen on the diesel is that there's a place that carries Bio Diesel not too far away, and I'd like to start to try that out, maybe even try to home-brew some (although it may be too late this year).Anyhow, thanks again for the quick replies, and don't be surprised if my questions get more complicated and desperate as the project picks up speed.
